Error flashing ev3dev-stretch to microSD--fails to validate #4079

  • Etcher version:
    1.18.8
  • Operating system and architecture:
    macOS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68)
  • Image flashed:
    ev3dev
  • What do you think should have happened/How to reproduce:
    Flash from file ev3dev-stretch-ev3-generic-2020-04-10.zip, select a microSD card (I'm using 32gb SanDisk SDHC), click flash.
  • What happened:
    It failed to validate the flashed SD card.
  • Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools?
    This error happens after completely flashing but at 0% of validation stage:
Checksum does not match for range [55480320, 55508991]:
"651fb8f59468c35a98a50ec6ec9f6de06350e3815cd70c9c444856ba6e9a7603" !=
"00f24e1ae5bdf10b5b6509b29154c2c46f423730ac3eea97555a1f42245fb2ab"
  • How I fixed it
    Instead of flashing ev3dev-stretch-ev3-generic-2020-04-10.zip, extract this zip and select the .img file when flashing instead of the zip itself.

The ev3dev installation then worked instead of hanging indefinitely. Please note I tried to flash this same image on three other sd cards, on a PC with Windows, then the same PC with Ubuntu (using etcher on both of course), a different version of ev3dev, and had the same issue on all. I think there's a common issue of flashing from zip files that only certain images have.

Same here, I tried various combinations of SD cards and card readers, I tried Etcher 1.18.8 on Windows and Linux, the result was exactly as jlbabilino described. Instead, I used Etcher 1.17.0 which worked without problems.

I too just had the exact same problem as @jlbabilino and now when I tried, his solution worked.

This image uses an image.bmap file for faster flashing. So maybe support for that has broken in Etcher?

Sounds like same issue as #3475
